The talking heads are really having at it... It's like "WWE Smackdown" in suits & business wear. To be honest, I'm really pretty entertained. I've found myself smirking--and even chuckling--on a number of occasions.
But then I remember what I'm watching.
And it's not funny anymore.
When I say "It's not funny..." I don't just mean the corruption, the gutter-politics, and the mismanagement of taxpayer money. Those things are certainly NOT funny, but there's something deeper that's really disturbing.
In the midst of the democrat-versus-republican chaos swarming around this bunch of foolishness is an underlying--and sometimes overt--belief by members of both parties that their guy or gal is the savior of the American system & way of life.
That's what I find so disturbing!
Can anyone show me even one politician who has ever been the savior of anything?
How many times have we put our hope in a candidate or a politician only to have the proverbial rug jerked out from under our feet?
When will we learn?
I know the "super-spiritual" answer is to say something like, "Well, that just goes to show you that the only leader you can trust is Jesus!"
Yeah, yeah... I know. But can I just be honest and tell you how sick and tired I am of people having ZERO integrity and the rest of us being OK with it, even if "being OK" means disgustedly rolling our eyes or just giving them that "trust-Jesus" pass?
Corruption is nothing new, of course, and no one is really all that surprised.
But I--for one--am just sick of it... No more nuts for me!
